What wing on our roster has a better floor on both sides of the ball than Livers? But, yeah, if your point is that we have bottom five wing talent in the league well, yeah, we do.
We certainly haven’t seen the best of Livers. I totally disagree with the g-league comment, but of course I’m assuming a 100% healthy Livers. He can shoot better than everyone except Bogdonovich, and he plays D better than everyone except Ausar and Stewart. He’s not making any AllStar teams but he’s a solid all around player. When healthy.
We haven't seen enough of him to make proclamations of either of these extremes (good or bad).
Bogey, Harris, and Burks are all better shooters. I want to believe Cade joins that list this year. And wishful thinking is Ivey does as well.
Defensively it's hard to tell because our team defense was so bad last year. There were definitely times where it appeared that Livers got lost / lost his man but that could have also been due to bad rotations by his teammates.
I wish he were 3-4 inches taller. As a team we are really, really good at finding guys who are 6'6 to 6-8 in height but terrible at finding guys who fit an ideal power forward mold.
I
want him to be the guy that some folks are touting but I honestly haven't seen it with the eye test in games. I even went so far as to scan the game logs in case I missed a trend somewhere. He's been... ok?
